I'm trying to install matplotlib on my ubuntu 12.04 system with python3. I've read that this package should be available in the package manager, but when I type
sudo apt-get install python3-matplotlib
I get
E: Unable to locate package python3-matplotlib
I've tried
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
and I still get the error. I know this is a simple problem, but I can't figure it out.
Because the package does not exist, see:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=matplotlib&searchon=names&suite=precise§ion=all
If you need matplotlib + python3 on 12.04 you will probably have to install it from source.
As tcaswell pointed out, it doesn't seem to be included in the official Ubuntu repos. You could try to find an external repo for it, but I think you'll be better off installing the version from PyPI.
pip install matplotlib
Most people prefer to install python dependencies using a tool like pip, which defaults to the PyPI repo for downloads.
You could also install from source but then upgrading can become tricky. On the other hand for most packages PyPI will receive updates well before they work their way down to a distro's repo.

I was following the tutorial on Ansible docs but was unable to finish it:
$ python -m pip install --user ansible
Returns an error:
/usr/bin/python: No module named pip
While another guide installed it by using python-pip3 and then after running pip3 install --user ansible it was ready to go.
It finishes installation successfully, yet ansible is still not available:
-bash: /usr/bin/ansible: No such file or directory
I have never worked with Python or PIP in the past and I don't understand what could go wrong in the process to start debugging.
You should check your python version in the terminal with
$ which python
command and then this returns a path that contains python(probably this will return a path because almost all of Linux distro contains python). After that result, you could type
$ curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
in the terminal, and then type
$ python get-pip.py
pip will be installed after these commands.
I have not found a solution to this but instead I went with the CentOS Epel repository also described in the Ansible docs and it works this way.
sudo yum install epel-release
sudo yum install ansible
Edit: Ok, so all I had to do is to add the following to .bashrc file.
export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
Fixed.

I'm trying to run my discordbot.py file on the Amazon EC2 server using MobaXTerm
I've tried every type of installion like:
sudo yum install python-lxml
sudo yum install libxml2-devel libxslt-devel python-devel
sudo yuminstall libxml2-dev libxslt-dev python-dev
pip install lxml
etc.
It always tells me stuff like:
Package python-lxml-3.2.1-4.amzn2.0.2.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Package gcc-7.3.1-12.amzn2.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Package libxml2-devel-2.9.1-6.amzn2.5.1.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Package libxslt-devel-1.1.28-6.amzn2.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Package python-devel-2.7.18-1.amzn2.0.3.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do
Yet when I want to run my discord bot, it gives me:
import lxml.html
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named lxml
I don't know what to do from that point on.
Based on the comments.
The solution was to use pip3 install lxml, rather then pip install lxml. The reason is that the former command uses Python 2, not Python 3 required by the bot.

Create requirements.txt file through cmd: pip freeze > requirements.txt
it'll list all the python installed packages in you're system to that file. once you got the all packages install using either sudo or normal pip.
with sudo: sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
with out sudo : pip install -r requirements.txt
i hope this will help you.

On a virtual machine (OS is Ubuntu 10.10), I'm trying to create Debian package from a Python package using stdeb:
apt-get install python-stdeb
But the terminal says:
E:Unable to locate package python-stdeb
Ubuntu 10.10 ceased being supported April 2012. The repositories are likely not hosted by Canonical anymore.
You can manually download python-stdeb here:
http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/python-stdeb
The link is at the bottom.
Just install it via pip:
pip install python-stdeb
If you do not have pip: apt-get install python-pip

My various Python upgrades, both Ubuntu and OSX, are so gnarled that I can't escape with virtualenv 'cause virtualenv itself doesn't work. I want to lift off and nuke the site from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.
What is the easiest way to uninstall any upgrades, returning the machines to installed defaults, and proceed forward with 2.7 in a virtual environment?
EDIT: Please to note, I installed 2.7 from source on both systems.
EDIT: I've voted to close -- out of place here, and I've figured out enough to get me through the next thing. Thx to all for reading.
To remove python installed from source:
First try
sudo make uninstall
Last time I checked, Python's source Makefile does not come with an uninstall target, but just in case things have changed, it does not hurt to try this.
Assuming that does not work, install checkinstall:
sudo apt-get install checkinstall # install the checkinstall package
cd /path/to/python/source/
sudo checkinstall -D --fstrans=no make install # make the deb package
This will create a .deb file for all the files installed by make install.
checkinstall will ask a few questions; the default answers should be fine.
You should end up with a deb package called something like Python-2.7.deb
Now you can uninstall python with
sudo dpkg -r Python-2.7 # Change Python2.7 to the name of the deb package.
This method has been known to work, at least for an earlier version of Python.
